Salter Hahira Library
Meet Hahira’s Famous “Professor” Stanley!
Four years ago, Wilmon Stanley entered the Salter Hahira Public Library in need of a computer on which to create a financial report for his church. Library staff instructed him in using Excel, a Microsoft Office program. His efforts consumed weeks until one day, something just clicked, and Stanley couldn’t get enough. To make a long story short, he learned so much that it was suggested that he’d make a great teacher. What happened after that, no one could have predicted.
Stanley is now affectionately known as Professor. Over the past year, this Korean War veteran and retiree has “graduated” countless students. He has taken frightened novices and turned them into pros, their personalities noticeably transformed. Unarguably, Stanley’s methods touch the whole person. The information he provides, free of charge and from the heart, opens doors and enriches lives. Still, he claims that no life has been more enriched than his own.
Professor Stanley demonstrates the vital role public libraries play in people’s lives. More importantly though, and this goes without saying, public libraries are lifeless without the people who breathe life into them with their needs, hopes and dreams. The proof is in the Professor.
Find out for yourself. Contact the library today, 229-794-3063, and make your appointment with the professor!
